The People Vs. Common Sense
Mogg writes "GamerGod.com has a new article up entitled "The People Vs. Common Sense, A Citizen's View at Michigan's SB-0146 Law," commenting on the new Michigan state video game law. "Have we made absolutely certain books and movies are not degrading the minds of our children and video games and all computerized representation of violent and sexual acts are the cause of an increase of depraved sociopaths??" Very nicely written piece.
this matter is being thoroughly handled by a religious site. seems very appropriate.
Creationists are a lot like zombies. Slow, but powerful and numerous. And they all want to eat our brains.
You know it's true. Look around you. How many fat, dumb kids do you see around your city now? Way more than ever. The playgrounds are as empty as the kid's heads. Dentists who used to drive Mercedes now drive Ferrari. It's sick and it's all because of the idiotic video games.
Sounds like the style of those "Inteeligent Design"-extremists.
They always rely on the fact that "normal poeple" (aka brainless retards) blindly accept or deny something they don't understand, based on some primitive false assumption.
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
One of the largest problems I see in agnostics and atheists today is the failure to grasp the simple truth that life is not a particularly desirable state. It some how fails to penetrate their skulls that when you believe in heaven, the Earth doesn't look that great in comparison. I often hear things along the lines of, "Why would a merciful God let a baby die?" In actuality, the question ought to be, "If God is merciful why doesn't he kill the rest of us." Life sucks, the Earth sucks, and people suck. Dying and going to heaven is not a punishment.
Where you will, no doubt, jump to next is along the lines of the efficacy of suicide. The answer to that, of course, is no less faith than anything else. Living is actually a sacrifice you continually perform to give others a chance to find true life, albeit life after death.
If you don't believe it, that's fine, but it's not inconsistent.
Never confuse volume with power.
Americans deposing a despot, fighting terrorism, while building schools, roads and promoting womens rights and democracy in the Middle east is just so awful. And Russia has no problems with the peaceful islamic folk in Chechnya. That school blew itself up. And Europeans with their so enlightend ways are just having a grand time integrating all those immigrants, so they can keep their socialist programs in a shrinking native population. That's working real well huh? Too bad about those blown up synagogues, train tracks and subways. Europeans have no neo nazi's or terrorists. America contains all the evil in the world. Those awful Christians!
Didn't Europe give us facism? You do realise it was Europeans that spread christianity don't you?
It just happens that America has more than its fair share of ignorants that refuse to understand history.
It also so happens slashdot has a lot of idiots posting on who have no concept of what America is really about. And the sad fact is some of them are Americans.
